@Metal-Brain saidYou really are dense and ill-informed. In 1999, Chavez won the election, and he made no bones about it that he was going to convert Venezuela to a socialist state, where major industries will come under state control and legislation was put in place to expropriate assets from corporations and land owners. Many of these people were either poorly compensated or not compensated at all.
Google it means you are a liar.
Yes, those whack a moles had it coming so they are failures.
Keep fooling yourself.
There are court cases which ruled that Venezuela must compensate at fair market value, and this was never done. Trump is right to go in remove that ass Maduro, take over the oil companies and seek whatever compensation is due to those who were kicked out without fair compensation.
Am I fooling myself about the failure of a socialist government ? Around 20,000,000 people ran from there in the last 25 years, and you are the lonely fool praising these donkeys. Thats about 75% of the population. They are all over the place in South America and the Caribbean, and they hate Chaves and Maduro.
By the way in the case of Islam, there are many tens of millions of Muslims that fled these countries as well. Islam is another epic failure and a disgrace.
You support socialism and Islam so you are another disgraceful failure of a human.
@Rajk999 saidAgain, what is your source of information?

@Metal-Brain saidVoting? Voting in a socialist state is a joke and is a comfort to a fool.
Are the people voting for something else? Nope.
I guess poor people like him.
@Rajk999 saidThey still take care of their people better than the US.
From the richest South American country in 1999, to the poorest in 2024.
Yeah .. sounds like a failed government.
If you call that success then you need to examine your value system.
The right to health care is guaranteed in the Venezuelan Constitution, which was written and ratified by the people in 1999.
@Metal-Brain saidHealthcare for all citizens is not a sign of success. If it is good healthcare then maybe it can qualify. But still the fact that 20,000,000 people fled tells you the government failed. The people dont have food. They dont have basic stuff. They come to our country, in rickety fishing boats, to buy toilet paper, sardines, crackers and milk. You must be a total moron to claim that is a successful government.

@Rajk999
Voting in a capitalist country is a joke. Congress does not represent the majority of Americans. 70% don't want war with Venezuela and congress wants it.

@Rajk999
It does not matter if it is a successful country. This thread is about democracy, not success. You are digressing so you don't have to admit Venezuela is a democracy. Do you work for the CIA or British not so much intelligence?

@Metal-Brain saidIts not a democracy if there is voter fraud and manipulation of the vote count. It seems likely that a failed government continuing to win and at the same time oppressing the people is committing voter fraud.

@Rajk999 saidWhat voter fraud and manipulation of the vote count? Maduro shows majority support in the polls. You are just spreading false rumors.

@Metal-Brain saidCrooked politicians, who chased millions of people of the country, killed those who oppose them, create mass poverty, expel foreigners caused widespread suffering, do not win elections. They manipulate the results to appear to win.

@Rajk999 saidWar with Venezuela will only cause an increase of migration to the USA, not a decrease.

@Metal-Brain saidRubbish. Its not a war. Venezuela has nothing to fight with. It will be a surrender, Maduro will flee and a true democratic govt will take over. Morons like you who support these criminals will cry.
